Yes, that would be a problem localized to the GUI tool. Please visit
http://bugs.mysql.com/
and either open a new bug describing your problems or add your details
to any existing bugs that may already match your description. The team
that manages that tool may ask for additional information so please do
respond or we will close the bug as "No Feedback".
